Secondrow shock change flagged in heavily rumoured Irish team to play France
By Online Editors
The Irish media have predicted that the Leinster secondrow James Ryan will start alongside Iain Henderson against France in Paris on Saturday.
Both the Irish Times and 42.ie have issued the same fifteen, which includes the surprise inclusion of Ryan in the starting line-up. His inclusion will come at a cost to longtime Ireland stalwart Devin Toner.
15. Rob Kearney
14. Keith Earls
13. Robbie Henshaw
12. Bundee Aki
11. Jacob Stockdale
10. Johnny Sexton
9. Conor Murray
1. Cian Healy
2. Rory Best (captain)
3. Tadhg Furlong
4. James Ryan
5. Iain Henderson
6. Peter O’Mahony
7. Josh van der Flier
8. CJ Stander
Ryan rise within Irish Rugby has been swift. The 6'8, 108kg lock has made just 10 appearances for Leinster, the vast majority coming this season.
A product of St Michael's, the lock featured in Ireland's November Tests, winning four caps.
The team will announced later today at the squad training facility at Carton House.

Yeah right the guy had a tell or something right, he’s feet or something made a noise that would indicate being open/slow to get around the ball or something.
LOL I cant really working what “reaction by orthodoxy to Moneyball principles” means but if just a fancy way of saying a movie about the good ole days of true art that no fancy numbers can beat, didn’t Clint the tip the hat to it by defecting to his um disciples club and use moneyball to find a no name curve ball pitcher to beat his club with?
Ohh so its really all off one batting principle, and I suppose they questioned others once they first were able to run the numbers. Bit of a wait at the library but I booked it in, will see if it can hold me. Cricket > Baseball after all so it better not sound too american.

How much money did NZR burn on trying to negotiate Richie Mo’unga out of his Japanese contract due to NZR’s own freakin’ rules??
Flights, hotels…. All because of a rule they could change themselves for free?
That’s what? Maybe 15-30K that would have changed the life of a local club or comp forever.
